Description
Following a series of environmental incidents, mainly linked to aging infrastructure, in 2015 CERN carried out an inventory and risk assessment of areas concerned by the presence of liquid chemical agents. As an outcome, HSE and the concerned services identified the need of a CERN wide chemical inventory tool, of liquids, solids and gases that also takes into account other Safety needs within the HSE Unit, such as data availability for the Fire and Rescue Service, chemical exposure issues and the support to the prevention of major accident hazards. As a result, HSE currently develops a CERN database dedicated to chemical agents available on the various sites, including geolocation, and chemical/environmental risk assessments. The tool strives to be a user-friendly web application that will be available to the HSE Unit but also to all CERN Departments storing, using or handling chemical agents.
